how to load and render "static .txt file content" from django template

[Fatih Tiryakioglu]

Hi all,

I want to render a static .txt file from django template, but I can't load it. I tried some combinations. Here is some of them:

       <textarea src="shortcut/to/text-file.txt" />

       <textarea src="shortcut/to/text-file.txt"> </textarea>

       <textarea> src="shortcut/to/text-file.txt" </textarea>

How can I load the context of this file?

Thanks all.

Note: I can render static image files, so it is not a settings problem.

Not sure about the textarea markup, but I would think that you would need to load the static tag and do something like

<textarea src="{% static "shortcut/to/text-file.txt" %}"/>

Take a look at the html your browser is getting and see if the paths for your text files look similar to the paths already working for images.

You might also want to make the textarea readonly otherwise users will be able to modify the text which may not be what you want.

You can also use {% include ... %} to include a static file, I do that for help pages.
